(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) -
Dozens of demonstrators blocked the access route to the Knesset in 'Jerusalem' (al-Quds) on Sunday in protest of high housing rates. "The people demand social justice," they chanted. As they clashed with police officers, the protestors proclaimed "They're also with us, they have no apartments."
Five protestors were arrested and one officer was lightly hurt. The protestors were trying to build a brick wall to block the road.
The Knesset is scheduled to vote on a bill Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims will ease the housing crisis this week. "We are building a home here, because one cannot build in Israel even if one works," one protestor told Ynet.
The protest was meant to achieve "concrete solutions in the housing field," another added. "We will not stop until all out demands are met. We want a housing revolution."
On Sunday, roughly 1,000 people marched towards the Knesset, in protest of the housing prices in 'Israel'.
